Description
Experience the elegance of Gonzalez Byass Vermouth La Copa Extra Seco, a premium Spanish dry vermouth from the legendary sherry house established in 1835. This exceptional 750ml bottle showcases a unique approach to vermouth-making, using a Fino Sherry base instead of traditional wine. Crafted in Jerez de la Frontera, the heart of Sherry country, this vermouth combines centuries of expertise with innovative botanical blending to create a distinctively Spanish extra dry vermouth.
Fino Sherry Foundation
La Copa Extra Seco is based on a Fino Sherry with the addition of seven carefully selected botanicals: wormwood, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange peel, savory, and red fruits. This innovative use of Fino Sherry as the base creates a clean, elegant, and intense character that clearly maintains its Fino origin. The unique Sherry triangle microclimate, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and local rivers, combined with Palomino grapes grown in white Albariza soil and aged using the traditional Solera system, provides the perfect foundation for this exceptional vermouth.
